Malignant murine melanoma (BL6-F10) cells convert arachidonic acid primarily to PGD2, PGF2alpha, PGE2, PGI2 in descending order of magnitude. Supplementation with 1-10 microg/ml vitamin E succinate resulted in a significant (P < or = 0.05) decrease in PGD2 levels at vitamin concentrations of 3, 5, 7 and 10 microg/ml respectively, while PGF2alpha levels were significantly decreased at 1, 3, 5 (P < or = 0.05), 7 and 10 microg/ml (P < or = 0.01) vitamin E succinate. BL6-F10 cells supplemented with 7 and 10 microg/ml vitamin E succinate showed a marked increase in PGE2 levels with a significant increase occurring at 10 microg/ml (P < or = 0.025). PGI2 levels followed a similar trend to PGE2 with a significant increase (P < or = 0.05) occurring at 10 microg/ml.

Tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) of palm oil has been shown to possess potent antioxidant, anticancer, and cholesterol lowering activities. In this study, our aim was to examine the effects of TRF on LPS-induced inflammatory response through measuring the production of inflammatory mediators, namely nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-4, and IL-8 ), cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and COX-2), and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) in human monocytic (THP-1) cells. At concentrations 0.5-5.0 microg/mL, TRF dose-dependently protected against LPS-induced cell death. At same concentrations, TRF also showed potent anti-inflammatory activity as demonstrated by a dose-dependent inhibition of LPS (1 microg/mL)-induced release of NO and PGE(2), and a significant decrease in the transcription of proinflammatory cytokines. TRF at 1.0 microg/mL significantly blocked the LPS induction of iNOS and COX-2 expression, but not COX-1. This anti-inflammatory activity was further supported by the inhibition of NF-kappaB expression. These results conclude that TRF possesses potent anti-inflammatory activity, and its mechanism of action could be through the inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 production, as well as NF-kappaB expression.
Μια έρευνα που δείχνει ότι οι τοκοτριενόλες καταστέλλουν τους φλεγμονώδεις διαμεσολαβιτές, αναφέρει ότι οι τοκοτριενόλες , μεταξύ άλλων, αυξάνουν την PGE2 (όπως και πριν) και αναστέλλουν την COX-2 η οποία λέγεται ότι προκαλεί την παραγωγή της PGD2.
